The White House has put on display presidential portrait photos along the West Wing Colonnade and instead of showing former President Joe Biden, it shows a photo of an autopen with his signature.
President Donald Trump appears twice, on each side of the Biden picture, as the 45th and 47th presidents.
The president teased that he was going to include an autopen for Biden’s portrait in an interview with the Daily Caller that was published in early September.
The long line of gold frames is visible from the West Wing, as well as the recently renovated Rose Garden. Trump is expected to host a dinner there tonight, per his schedule.
A White House official confirmed that all the presidents would be represented in the new display, but did not elaborate on the decision-making for Biden’s artwork. Trump has repeatedly mocked Biden’s use of the autopen and has even called for investigations into it.
NBC News has reached out to Biden’s office for comment.
